The configuration does change, it’s just that the change is not about the amount of matter. If there are configurations absurdly more positively or negatively valuable than others, that just makes the ordinary configurations stop being decision relevant, once discerning the important configurations becomes feasible.
To me, just ascribing more value to things without anything material about the situation changing sounds like inflation, not real growth.
